Even this highly simplified view changes once you have the app installed. With a native app, you have an icon right there on the user's home screen. The web app would require more typing and clicking.

On iOS you can hit the plus button on any web page to add it to the home screen, making an icon right there on the user's home screen.
This is true in Chrome, Windows and ChromeOS as well. Android probably does too, although I don't know for a fact. The notion that a web app is "just a web page" is really starting to fade away.
